Well....
The steering wheel is were it should be Wink
Speaking about steering Wheel and interior.
I updated it with these:



And from Overfinch the steering Wheel from the Super Sport

It has the original look but is a bit chunkier and has a different shape for the thumbs.
Which in this case are up :thumbsup:

I decided that the plain Gold was a bit boring so I added some black vinyl.

And of course a roof rack.

Something quite nice about the look - a bit different with the Black stripe down the sides, but I think I like it Thumbs Up

Carried out some major work there, I also like your workshop Shocked (Not jealous at all Evil or Very Mad )

Shame about the steering wheel though Laughing

I´m also jealous about that workshop (not mine - the car dealers)

It would have made my next installation easier.

Had some work done to my little car.

I replaced the broken front bumper with one with golden corners.
Added the A-bar and some protection underneath.
Also addad PDC in the front as I previously only had it in the rear.
